I don't know if the show is going to care enough to say, so I guess I'll ask a book reader:

What happened to Blackthorne's crew? Are they living in the lap of luxury in Edo or shivering a different hole in the ground or all dead?

Has there been any new stew being made?

Would wearing a helmet saved Failson from a lovely death? He should have worn the dong helmet while storming the brothel.

So blackthorne can order food and household supplies. Good for him, he can live the life of a digital nomad in Edo.

I have a suspicion that the finale might be 90 minutes to really ham up the suspense. Anybody able to find that info a week in advance?

Edit: This online TV guide gives it a 90 minute block, but if that's with commercials, then they must all have been taking up 90 minutes, because each episode is a solid 50-60 minutes without commercials.

The hulu app indicates a runtime of 63 minutes.

I wouldn't mind an effortpost on how exactly Mariko swung Ochiba to Toranaga's side and how Yabu's betrayal plays into this.

My best guess is that Ochiba and Mariko go back as childhood best friends. Although Mariko's father hosed poo poo up, I don't think Ochiba harbored any true resentment to her. Ochiba knows she needs to wheel and deal if she wants to keep herself and heir alive, so she sided with Ishido.

With Mariko's death, everyone knows Ishido orchestrated it, so it sowed division among the regents, especially the christian ones.

Toranaga knew Yabu plays both sides and figured Ishido would try to cut him a deal in handling Mariko's protest of being held captive.

At that point, Ochiba knew that Ishido had no power over the remaining regents, so it was easier to cut him out and the bring the rest in line.

Based on that dream sequence showing the armies gathered I wonder if they had the budget left to make a good looking battle anyway.

They could just weaved in gameplay from this classic.
